About Me

Since the 1990s I have been very involved with fighting the military "don't ask don't tell" policy for gays in the military, and with First Amendment issues. Best contact is 571-334-6107 (legitimate calls; messages can be left; if not picked up retry; I don't answer when driving) Three other url's: doaskdotell.com, billboushka.com johnwboushka.com Links to my URLs are provided for legitimate content and user navigation purposes only.
My legal name is "John William Boushka" or "John W. Boushka"; my parents gave me the nickname of "Bill" based on my middle name, and this is how I am generally greeted. This is also the name for my book authorship. On the Web, you can find me as both "Bill Boushka" and "John W. Boushka"; this has been the case since the late 1990s. Sometimes I can be located as "John Boushka" without the "W." That's the identity my parents dealt me in 1943!

Perez Hilton plays up Miss California USA "gay marriage" flap

Well, Perez Hilton seems to want to make as much of the ambiguous, equivocal answer of Miss California USA Carrie Prejean. He’s carried on with Larry King Live, and this article on “Popeater” really plays it up.

Carrie did make it sound like we can choose to live where we want to, and somehow we get to choose everything that happens to us, and that’s great – except that this is hardly true for real people.

Of course, a good question is whether a question on gay marriage was appropriate at all – should “political correctness” become a litmus test for beauty pageants. Since they’re private affairs, they can do what they want. Remember how Bert Parks used to give an oral exam to each Miss America contestant back in the 1950s. And think what political correctness meant back then. Oh, yes, Parks would then sing the saccharine, "Here she is!" How women became idols then!
